Around the eleventh or twelfth century, the Aztecs began their wanderings in search of the Promised Land. A prophecy promised them the end of this wandering the day when they would see, perched at the top of a cactus, an eagle holding in its beak a snake. Thus, in 1325 or 1345, they found an island on Lake Texcoco. They named the place Tenochtitlán, in the Valley of the Moon, or Mexico. Speculations about the legendary Aztlán, the starting point of the Aztecs, have focused on Mexcaltitán. Mexcaltitán is an island of 350 by 400 m in the middle of a lagoon on the San Pedro River, not far from the sea
